When it comes to Linux file security, most users are familiar with the basics—chmod, chown, and maybe even a quick glance at ls -l. But these simple tools are just the surface.
If you’re managing servers, deploying applications, or handling sensitive data, you need a deeper layer of protection. Linux offers powerful built-in tools that go beyond basic permissions—and understanding them is crucial.
